FREQUENCY

DISTRIBUTIO
N
 - It is obtained by arranging
observations or data that shows the
frequency of occurrence of numbers
falling under one or more variables.
INTERVALS
 - Are also called score classes.
(e.g., scores 97-100 or ages 25-30)
UNGROUPE
D
FREQUENCY
- It simply arrange data into specific
categories.

FREQUENCY
 STEPS for Grouped
frequency distribution
 STEP 1: Determine
the range by getting
the difference of
highest and lowest
score.
(Range= HS-LS)
STEP 2: Solve for the
class interval. This
shows the widths of
each interval to
where the data will
classified.
STEP 3: Determine the
class limit by starting
the lowest limit with a
number that is multiple
of the class interval,
making sure that all
scores can be included.
 STEP 4: Tabulate data by
making at least two
columns. The first
column shows the class
intervals arranged from
highest to lowest while
the second column shows
the frequency.
 STEP 5: Determine
the cumulative
frequency by adding
the frequency starting
at the bottom.
Ex:
Prepare a frequency distribution for the
following scores of 30 students in a 100-point
quiz in English.
92 85 83 39 57 76

41 90 38 47 56 38

63 68 54 59 41 48

66 63 57 40 48 65

88 83 65 76 77 58
STEP 1: (Range= HS-
LS)

Range = 92-38
= 54
STEP 2: The number of
class interval should
be between 10-15.
10 as class interval
54/10=5.4 up
6
 STEP 3: since the
lowest score is 38. We
can start with 36
since it is multiple of
6.
STEP 4: The following
intervals are then
formed: 36-41, 42-47,
and so on.
 STEP 5: Tally the
scores in a table. Get
the cumulative
frequency.
